Membership:
I have finished
accepting 2025 dues. Thanks to all that
continue to make Ravens Roost #44 one of the largest and strongest Roosts in
the Council! We are 88 members strong!

Convention:
All convention
applications were turned in at the April Council meeting. You can still sign up for the convention, but
you will need to contact the Council and arrange your own application
acceptance with your $80 fee, and the late sign ups will not get the souvenir
goodie bag. It’s still a good deal
though, to be able to eat and drink for three days and share fellowship with
like-minded Ravens fans from all over.
Parade:
I don’t want to
reveal too much about our float in the convention parade, but the convention
theme is “Honoring our First Responders”, and we happen to have some particular
First Responders joining us that no other Roost can get. That’s all I’m saying for now, but it’s going
to be great. I hope everyone that is
signed up for the convention will march, and if you haven’t, hopefully you’ll
cheer us on from the sidelines. More
details at the May meeting.

Funny Poop
Did you hear about the fellow that was
talking to his buddy, and he said, "I don't know what to get my wife for
her birthday. She has everything, and
besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants, so I'm stumped."
His buddy said, "I have an idea. Why don't you make up a certificate that says
she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled!"
So the first fella did just that.
The next day his buddy asked, "Well, did you take my
suggestion? How'd it turn out?"
"She loved it. She
jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth, and ran out the door yelling --
I'll see you in two hours!"
